On September 13, 2002, 4 years ago today,
You Peter GRAHAM at 14 were so needlessly and tragically taken
away.
Our lives will never be the same,
But always in our hearts you do remain.
We miss your smile, your thoughtful caring ways,
The happy way you lived your days.
Many a time we ask the reason why,
But God will answer us in the Sweet Bye and Bye.
We know we will see you again, on that Golden Shore,
Where we will rejoice and live forever more.

GRAHAM,
Peter▲
In loving memory of a dear cousin and nephew.
On one day, that day, Friday the 13th,
The world lost an angel,
Who had wandered down to earth,
Whether a father, a mother,
A sister, grandparent or a cousin,
A friend, a fellow,
Or perhaps even a stranger,
It seemed that he was missed by all,
And all still miss him, every day,
And still to this day,
But now, for now; and since that day,
A child is here with us
Named after a great bay,
She has healed and given life,
Where once there was not,
But a hole is still there,
And there it should remain,
And while life now exists
Where it once did not,
Let us try not to refrain,
From forgetting the spirit of the day,
And the spirit of Peter,
So please don't be sad,
For after all, being an angel,
He would have wanted it that way.
- Written by cousin Graham on behalf of Toby, Aunt Mary and Uncle
Mike.

Man, 60, dies in early morning collision
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Tues., January 17, 2006
A Londoner was killed and a veteran trucker badly shaken yesterday
in an early-morning crash in Thames Centre that police are investigating.
Joe ANTONIO, 60, was heading to work in Dorchester shortly before
6 a.m. yesterday when his van broadsided a tractor-trailer reversing
into a driveway along Westchester Bourne, Middlesex Ontario Provincial
Police said.
ANTONIO, whose vehicle was trapped under the rig,
died at the scene.
"He's a very good brother and a very good father," Adelina
ANTONIO
said of her brother, who had a 21-year-old stepson and two other
children, ages 13 and 10. "We are trying to cope with the loss
because it was so sudden."
Skip LACHARITY, the veteran trucker who was backing his tractor-trailer
onto his Dorchester-area property, was unhurt in the crash but
obviously upset by the tragedy in the pre-dawn darkness.
"I'm not so sure it's sunk in yet," said
LACHARITY, 54, who had
been delivering flowers to grocers in London and Sarnia. "It
was over in a heartbeat. It was a tragic thing."
The 16-metre-long trailer was outfitted with reflective stripes
and marker lights, Const. Doug
GRAHAM said. It was dark at the
time of the collision and investigators were still piecing together
how it happened, he added.
ANTONIO had worked at the same Dorchester factory for about 25
years, his sister said, and often pledged to retire within four
years.
He moved to Canada from the Philippines in the mid-1970s, she
said.

Area woman dies after sport utility vehicle rolls on top of her

A 35-year-old Nairn woman on her way home from work in London
Monday was killed after her vehicle hit a patch of ice and rolled

HYMERS was not wearing a seatbelt
and was thrown from the vehicle when it went out of control at
about 5: 30 p.m.
"I'm sure she would have survived that collision had she worn
a seat belt," Const. Doug
GRAHAM said. "She was thrown out and
her Cherokee rolled over. If she had been belted, I doubt there
would have been anything more than minor injuries."
HYMERS is the fourth London and area motorist killed since Sunday
in crashes blamed on poor weather conditions.

Goodbye, Mr. London
To many Londoners, J. Allyn
TAILOR/TAYLOR was an icon of business and
charity. To daughter Ann Fleming, he was a 'wonderful father.'
We look back at his life and legacy on Pages C1, 2.
By Norman DE
BONO, Free Press Reporter, Mon., June 19, 2006
He may have been a giant in London's business and philanthropic
community, but to Ann
FLEMING/FLEMMING,
J.
Allyn
TAILOR/TAYLOR "was a wonderful
father," she said yesterday.
His health failing in the days before his death,
TAILOR/TAYLOR and his
family spent their last night together Friday, eating pizza,
drinking beer.
TAILOR/TAYLOR sat with them and a few close Friends,
said FLEMING/FLEMMING, his daughter.
He died Saturday, "at home, with his family around him, peacefully,
there was no pain," said
FLEMING/FLEMMING.
"I held him and he gave me a great big smile."
TAILOR/TAYLOR is also survived by daughter Lynn
GRAHAM of Ottawa and
son John TAILOR/TAYLOR of Picton. His wife, Betty
TAILOR/TAYLOR, died in 1999.
The couple had been married 62 years.
"Even though he was busy and active, he loved his family," she
said. "I have wonderful memories of my father."
Memories such as the days spent at the family cottage in Grand
Bend, going to church on Sunday mornings, hiding candy at Easter,
feeding animals in Springbank Park.
"I'll always remember the time at (an) exposition in Osaka, he
ended up conducting an oom-pah-pah band," she recalled.
"He had such a sense of humour, he could be very silly at times."
TAILOR/TAYLOR's father died when he was 12.
"I think he gave to us what he missed growing up," she said.
"He really valued his family life. He was a very loving father."
Mostly, she recalls how much
TAILOR/TAYLOR loved their mother, Betty.
"He loved my mother, he always really loved her," she said.

She will be sadly missed by her children; Paul

Evelyn is survived by her siblings; Ken
GRAHAM,
Cheryl and Fred
SMALL and Marrianne and Marvin
MAGILL, John and Burt Ann
WARD
were special Friends, and their presence in her life these past
few years was greatly celebrated by Evelyn. Evelyn spent most
of her adult life in London and then Exeter where she raised
her three children with unconditional love and support. During
her time in Exeter, she started the first "Beavers" pack and
served for many years as a leader. These were happy times for
Evelyn and nothing pleased her more than watching children, her
own and others enjoying themselves. She returned to London 15 years
ago, when her first diagnosis of breast cancer was received.
Thankfully, she had been symptom free since that early treatment,
and only very recently began the battle again. She spent her
last weeks at home, as was her wish. Her family offer sincere
thanks to Doctor Irene
COHEN for her skilled and compassionate care
of Evelyn during these last weeks. The Community Care Access
Centre team and the Victorian Order of Nurses palliative team
were also instrumental in supporting her stay at home. Special
thanks to University Hospital palliative team, especially Carolyn.
Family and Friends will be received at the Westview Funeral Chapel,
709 Wonderland Road North on Friday, July 7th from 3 p.m.-5 p.m.

Woman dies, child spared
An autopsy will determine whether medical factors may have led
to the death of Barbara
WICKERSON, 73.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed., December 20, 2006
A two-vehicle crash claimed the life of a woman yesterday morning
at Thirteen Mile and Wonderland roads. (Mike
HENSEN,
London
Free
Press)
Birr -- A London-area woman is dead after a two-vehicle crash
near here yesterday that also affected a three-year-old girl.
Barbara WICKERSON, 73, was driving east along Thirteen Mile Road
at 10 a.m. when her eastbound sport utility vehicle collided
at Wonderland Road with a minivan heading south, Middlesex Ontario
Provincial Police said.
An autopsy today will examine if medical factors may have contributed
to the death of the Middlesex Centre woman, officers said at
the scene, about seven kilometres north of London.
Her injuries, they noted, didn't appear severe enough to have
been fatal.
Three generations of the same family were in the minivan, including
Nikaia SIRE-
RODRIGUES, 3, of Toronto. Her mother, Marcie
SIRE,
30, and grandmother, Harolyn
SIRE, 59, of Lucan, were hurt.
The toddler was properly strapped into a car seat and that likely
saved her from injury, Ontario Provincial Police Const. Chris
HUNTER said. "It's just great to see the compliance from parents"
to the provincial car seat laws."
Long stretches of road around the rural intersection were closed
for hours yesterday as Ontario Provincial Police investigators
examined the scene.
The minivan, which had been heading south toward London, came
to rest several metres from the road in an open field. The sport
utility vehicle, with major front-left damage, ended up nearby.
No charges will be laid, Const. Doug
GRAHAM said.

LAW,
Alan
Joseph
Woodforth, P.Eng.
Alan
Joseph
Woodforth
LAW died peacefully at home, in the arms
of his wife and best friend Nicki, on February 11, 2006. He was
74 years old. Born on January 21, 1932 in Cheshire, England,
Alan graduated at age 19 from Nottingham University with a degree
in Mining Engineering. During his final year at university, Alan
applied for a student position at Sigma Gold Mine in Val D'Or,
Quebec and left England in 1952 for Canada, a life long dream.
After working with Sigma for three years, Alan went to Manitouwadge
to work for Noranda Mines, Geco Division producing copper and
zinc, where he worked as an underground surveyor, and later as
a layout engineer. In 1958, he moved to Elliot Lake as the Planning
Engineer for Rio Algom Mines - Milliken Division, and in 1959,
on a blind date at the old Gatineau Club in the Ottawa /Hull
area where Della Reese was performing, Alan met Diane
McGLADE,
affectionately known as Nicki, whom he married on June 25, 1960.
It was at Milliken Mines in Elliot Lake that Alan met a number
of people who would direct the course of his life and career
- Dale and Norma
HENDRICK,
Mervyn
UPHAM, George
STENNING, Carl
ASHENHURST, Ted
CHEESEMAN, Dennis
BRIDGER, Alex
McNEILL, and
many others. Alan moved quickly through the ranks at Milliken
Mines holding the position of Chief Mining Engineer until the
mine closed in 1964. Nicki and Alan then moved to Nenagh, Ireland
in 1964 where he developed a lead-zinc mine as the Chief Engineer
for Mogul of Ireland. He returned to Canada in 1966 to work as
Chief Engineer at Newmont's Granduc Mines Ltd, and engineered
an eleven-mile tunnel that had to be driven under intervening
mountain ranges and glaciers. The tunnel then connected to a
mountain road that had to be built to Stewart, the nearest port,
32 miles away. The Granduc project achieved engineering goals
unprecedented in the history of mining. In 1970, Mervyn Upham,
then president of Selco Mining Corporation, invited Alan to join
him as Director of Engineering in Toronto. Known by many as the
best mining engineer in the industry, he was given many global
assignments including the development of the mine design in 1973
of the Newmont-Mount Isa Agnew nickel project in western Australia.
Back in Canada, until his retirement in 1992 from Selco, later
known as BHP
Billiton, he engineered the development of the Quebec
Selbaie copper zinc mine and the South Bay copper zinc mine in
western Ontario. All of his mines made major contributions to
the well being and the economics of their respective locations.
Alan was excellent at any endeavour he took on whether it was
curling, tennis, golf, bridge, snooker, toastmaster and drama
clubs, model trains and woodworking. He was, in particular, a
smiling connoisseur of good Scotch. Alan was a member of the
Professional Engineers Association of Ontario, the Canadian Institute
of Mining and Metallurgy, the Prospectors and Developers Association
of Canada, the Engineer's Club of Toronto, and the Ontario Club.
Although he excelled as a mining engineer, Alan's gift of recital,
particularly of the Battle of Hastings, and numerous other epic
poems was closely matched by his singing of Danny Boy, performed
beautifully with granddaughter Emily
TAILOR/TAYLOR, a mere three weeks
before his death. Exceptionally bright, kind, modest, and witty,
Alan not only led the world of engineering science in some of
the largest and most ambitious mines around the world, he was
at all times unfailingly devoted to his wife, his children, his
grandchildren and all his family and Friends. Alan is survived
by his devoted wife of 46 years, Diane (Nicki)
LAW (née
McGLADE,)
his beloved daughters Elizabeth Ann (Robert
VOGTLE;)
Diane
Millicent
(Greg DAVIES,) and Nancy-Jane (Iain
TAILOR/TAYLOR;) by grandchildren
Mathew, Jennifer and Laura
VOGTLE;
Emily and Simon
TAILOR/TAYLOR, and
Sean DAVIES.
Alan leaves behind his two brothers in England,
John Geoffrey
LAW and David Thomas
LAW. He is dearly loved by
his brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and 29 nieces and nephews.
No one was blessed with more loyal or caring Friends than Alan,
many spanning decades of memorable years with Alan and Nicki
at the cottage in Muskoka or around the bridge table. The
LAW
family gratefully acknowledges the commitment and care delivered
by cardiologist Dr. Anthony
GRAHAM for over 25 years; and by
the wonderful home care workers from the Etobicoke Community
Care Access Centre. Funeral services will be held at St. Georges
On-The-Hill, 4600 Dundas Street West on Tuesday, February 21,
at 2: 00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, it was Alan's preference that
any donations be directed to the St. Michael's Hospital Foundation,

at the age of eighty-one after suffering from congestive heart
failure. Born May 18, 1924, daughter of Eileen Jenny
YEATS and
E.N. Halton
FYLES, sister of Ann and Richard

Graduated
M.D. from Queen's University in 1954 and practiced neurology,
as well as raising a family. Later, Doctor
FYLES specialized in
the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune

community and volunteer work. After her children were grown,
she continued to care for others, including students from abroad
and foster children. She maintained an active medical practice
until very recently and helped design and maintain services for
Human Immunodeficiency Virus patients. Shirley was born into
a challenging and changing world; she faced that world with energy
and lived her life with integrity. Those close to her appreciated
Shirley's ability to maintain her wry, self-deprecating sense
of humour in even in the most trying situations. She is survived
by five children, fourteen grandchildren and one great-grand_son.

43, Halifax. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing
of a much loved mother, sister, daughter and friend. Fiesty to
the end, Sheelagh passed away peacefully at the QE2 in Halifax
on May 1, 2006, with family and Friends at her side after a courageous
4 year battle with cancer. Born in Halifax, she grew up in Saint_John's,

where she attended Halifax West High School. She went on to attend
St. Francis Xavier University, where she fell in love with her
husband, Danny

family genealogy. A natural athlete, Sheelagh enjoyed beating
her brother's-in-law at tennis and ping pong, and was a proud,
hockey, lacrosse and soccer Mom. She was a mediocre tarabish
player but played with gusto. Most importantly, Sheelagh was
a devoted and dynamic mother, and was incredibly proud of her
boys. She had an indomitable spirit, a great sense of humour
and loved a good laugh. She and her family have been very grateful

SCHUETT, Margaret Mary "Peggy" (née
BURK/BURKE) (1921-2006)
Of Calgary, Alberta, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 20,
2006 at the age of 85 years. Peggy was born March 5, 1921 at
Kingston, Ontario to Albert and Margaret
(SULLIVAN)
BURK/BURKE. One
of five children, she grew up in a proud Irish Catholic family.
During the war, Peggy worked in Ottawa and then returned to Kingston
where she met her husband George. They married June 21, 1943 and
crossed Canada many times, living in 17 cities and 5 provinces.
An independent and resourceful woman, Peggy moved with their
three children in advance of her husband to set up the new family
home. She loved entertaining the many Friends and family with
whom she and George shared their lives, but she treasured her
quiet time also, creating beautiful needlework and tending her
adored garden. When George retired, he and Peggy began travelling
the country returning to places they loved and exploring the
many parts of Canada, making new memories and new Friends along
the way. After George passed away suddenly in 1978, Peggy went
to work for ten years until she retired. Her greatest legacy
was the inspiration she provided her family: an open-minded spirit,
tireless perseverance, and enthusiasm and joy for life. Her greatest
influence is most evident in the imaginations and independence
of her three children, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Peggy was caring, humble, romantic, and accepting of everyone.
There was never a person who met her who did not love her fun
loving and generous spirit. Peggy smiled all the days of her
life including her last in spite of the burden of Alzheimer's
disease. She was a source of joy for everyone she knew. Family
and Friends alike will remember her as 'Grandma Peggy' with a
ready smile and a 'twinkle in her eye'. Full of fun and always
enjoying a good laugh, Peggy brought life to every gathering.
Peggy was so proud of her family and is survived by her two daughters,

Burns) for 42 years. A lifelong
baseball fan, he could still recite stats and players names from
years gone by up until a week before his passing. A kind and
thoughtful man who would give the clothes off his back if he
thought that it would help you. May it comfort all to know that
he left us feeling contented and peaceful. We would like to extend
appreciation and heartful thanks to the doctors and nurses at
Sunnybrook and Toronto Grace Hospitals for their care and compassion
and to the staff at 921 Millwood. The family will receive Friends
from one o'clock on Saturday, June 24, 2006 in St. Cuthbert's
Anglican Church, 1399 Bayview Avenue for a memorial service at
two o'clock. In lieu of flowers, donations in Hugh's memory may

THORNTON,
Hugh
Richard
Loving and adored father, kind and devoted husband to Bardie,
Hugh passed away peacefully at home surrounded by the love of
his family on October 25, 2006 after a courageous battle with
pancreatic cancer. Born on February 4, 1929, in Woodstock, Ontario,
to Jessie Robertson and Percy Sanford
THORNTON, he was the youngest
of eight children. Love and appreciation of music and fine art
were always encouraged in the household by his mother, an accomplished
pianist, and at an early age Hugh began to show great promise
in drawing, illustrating and painting. He loved to talk about
his days growing up in a large family where late-night chats
would turn into early morning discussions of philosophy, science,
the arts, and politics. The eight children loved to play pranks
on each other, build water-glass orchestras and go-carts, read
together and play music. Being in a large family he learned to
assume responsibility early, and at age 11, he worked as a parcel
boy at Loblaws in order to buy his first bike while later he
took on summer jobs delivering ice and bread. The family moved
to Toronto in 1938 to the High Park area where Hugh attended
Keele St. Elementary School and Humberside Collegiate. At school
he excelled in art, music, and literature. He met the love of
his life, Barbara
BRIGHAM, when she was 15 and he 16, and four
years later, they were married while Hugh was attending the Ontario
College of Art in the fine art program. He switched into the
commercial program when he realized he would need to be able
to support a family. During college, Hugh worked steady nights
at Goodyear and Stelco, paying for all of his tuition. He won
two scholarships and a bursary before he graduated in 1951 and
continued to work at Goodyear upon graduation. Subsequently he
was employed at Rabjohn Illustrators and after 1 year there,
he went to Avro Aircraft where he quickly rose to department
head. In 1955, after 3 years of top-secret illustration on the
Arrow aircraft program, Hugh left to start his business in partnership
as Industrial Art and Publicity Associates which subsequently
became Thornton Hall Limited. As an employer, he was very fair
and many times in the early days had to finance the payroll unbeknownst
to his employees. Usually Hugh would be the last one to close
the door, well into the early morning hours, as he built a successful
career as illustrator, photographer, artist, copywriter, designer,
and typographer. He was a rare one-stop talent that many envied
and yet he was the most unassuming man to all who knew him. During
the rare moments when he would take time for himself, he would
relax with reading or playing Mendelssohn, Chopin, Beethoven
and Bach piano pieces. Hugh and Bardie had to be thrifty in the
early years, seldom living beyond their means, but still managing
to always throw great parties with their many Friends and relatives.
The door was always open at the Thornton household, laughter
abounded, and visiting out-of-town relatives were never expected
to stay in a hotel. In 1960, they bought a cottage on Buckhorn
Lake and many happy weekends were spent fishing, water-skiing
and boating. After Buckhorn was sold, they bought a cottage on
Boshkung Lake north of Minden, Ontario, where Hugh loved to walk
in the country with his artist's pad and camera in hand, creating
ideas and sketches for some his most beautifully realized landscape
paintings. Hugh provided a wonderful home in Don Mills for his
wife and children, and loved to go on vacation with their Friends
to sunny climes during the winters. He and Bardie instilled in
their children strong family values of honesty, integrity, humility,
and grace. Hugh was delighted to engage in conversation with
his children and extended family and to be taken to task by his
kids in discussions on politics or philosophy. The bantering
and humour that went on around the table, even right up until
the days before his passing, will be remembered and cherished
by them forever. He was very proud of his children and their
spouses and his adored grandchildren. Hugh was most proud of
his accomplishments that occurred in his post-retirement years
when he returned to painting. His many beautiful works of art
adorn the halls of the family home, and the homes of Friends.
He was eternally grateful to the Minden Hills Cultural Centre
where his works were regularly shown each summer at the Agnes
Jamieson Gallery and where, just in October, he was awarded 1st place
in the People's Choice Award at the Members Show. He leaves his
beloved wife of 56 years, Barbara
BRIGHAM, and their loving children
David LIVINGSTONE
(Paula
ZINOVICH) of Victoria, British Columbia,
Gerry THORNTON
(Stephen
MOORE) of Toronto; and Andrew
THORNTON
(Sandra REYNOLDS) of Barrie, Ontario. Left to grieve for their
adored Grandpa are Colin, Raeanne and Richard

Hugh was predeceased by all seven of his
siblings: Philip, Margaret (Bud

Friends from high school days, business and the art world, the

of humour. Special thanks goes to our primary care day nurse,

Bruce TRIGGER:
Archaeologist,
Anthropologist (1937-2006)
McGill University professor was one of Canada's great, yet uncelebrated,
minds, writes Sandra
MARTIN.
Uninterested in self-promotion,
he refused to rearrange history in order to make it agree with
his theories
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S9
Archaeologist, anthropologist and historian Bruce
TRIGGER had
a wide-ranging intellectual curiosity that roamed across civilizations
from ancient Egyptians in Africa to the Huron Confederacy
in Eastern Canada -- historical time frames and scholarly disciplines.
He understood from an early age that complexity was an underlying
factor in human behaviour, an insight that made him wary of ideological
determinism and rigid methodological approaches to data.
"He was a dedicated Canadian patriot," said his McGill University
colleague Michael Bisson. "He was extremely interested in Canada's
history, but he was also interested in the history of inequality
and that was the crucial thing that led him to look at early
civilizations and at how social and political inequalities developed."
Of his two dozen books, three are considered masterpieces: The
Children of Aataentsic: A History of the Huron People to 1660
A History of Archaeological Thought; and Understanding Early
Civilizations: A Comparative Study.
Writing in Saturday Night magazine in 1986, journalist Boyce
Richardson called Aataentsic "a work of such historical imagination
and literary quality that
TRIGGER deserves to rank with Harold
Innis, Northrop Frye, and Marshall McLuhan -- Canadian academics
known abroad for their critical imaginations and honoured at
home for their contributions to Canadian self-knowledge." And
yet, Mr. Richardson lamented, fully 10 years after the publication
of Aataentsic, that it had sold only 1,500 copies.
One of those books was bought for Ron Williamson as a Christmas
present from his parents. In 1976, he was an undergraduate at
the University of Western Ontario and he already knew that he
wanted to be an archaeologist and that he had to have Prof.
TRIGGER's
two-volume work. "It changed my life," he said yesterday. "There
was no comprehensive treatment of that period that covered not
only the Huron, but all of their allies and enemies in the Great
Lakes Region… and gave voice to the people in that history in
a way that was different from anything that came before. Reading
TRIGGER brought that whole world alive to me." He was so stimulated
that he went to McGill to study under Prof.
TRIGGER.
What made Prof.
TRIGGER different from almost anyone else as
a teacher, a scholar and a human being is the thoroughness and
integrity of his work, according to Ursula
FRANKLIN, university
professor emeritus at the University of Toronto. "He let the
evidence speak, he didn't rearrange history to fit his theory.
He had the incredible ability to step back and see what is a
figment of somebody's wishful imagination and what is sustained
by internally consistent facts," Prof.
FRANKLIN said yesterday.
In contrast to some archaeologists, she said, Prof.
TRIGGER had
a great openness to different sources -- from science, folklore,
oral history -- but he always evaluated them with rigour and
integrity. He applied those same standards to every aspect of
his life, as a scholar, teacher, husband and father. "If you
gave me the choice of [naming] one intellectual, in the very
best sense of the world, a citizen who used an exceptional intellect
carefully, humbly and immensely effectively in Canada, I would
say that's Bruce."
Bruce Graham
TRIGGER was the only child of John and Elizabeth
(neé GRAHAM)
TRIGGER.
His childhood was lonely because his father,
an operator for Ontario Hydro, often worked the night shift and
slept during the day, and his mother seemed preoccupied with
her own interests. His life-long friend, set designer Maxine
GRAHAM, remembered him as "a very precocious child" who could
be "quite imperious." At 7, he had already absorbed The Book
of Knowledge and was "reading the Bible for fun."
When not yet 10, he had an even more formative reading experience
after having succumbed to chicken pox and infecting his father.
While they were both recuperating, Mr.
TRIGGER showed his son
a lavishly illustrated book on ancient Egypt. "I was wonderstruck,"
Prof. TRIGGER recalled in Retrospection, an essay that he wrote
for The Archaeology of Bruce Trigger: Theoretical Empiricism,
a festschrift edited by Doctor Williamson and Prof. Bisson.
His early interest in Egyptian archaeology prompted an awareness
of the history of his own province, which was abetted by occasional
newspaper articles at the time about a dig at Sainte-Marie-among-the-Hurons
and Ojibwa artifacts that were still turning up in local farmers'
fields. Hydro transferred John
TRIGGER to Saint Mary's, Ontario,
and then to nearby Stratford, which meant that young Bruce had
to switch schools and leave Friends behind, so he spent even
more time metaphorically digging into ancient Egyptian and First
Nations archaeology.
After high school, he enrolled in the University of Toronto in
1955, doing fieldwork in his final two summers with Norman Emerson.
After graduating with a degree in anthropology in 1959, he headed
to Yale University on a Woodrow Wilson fellowship to do a PhD
in anthropology, along with two other undergraduates, Richard
Pearson and George MacDonald, both of whom would also become
significant scholars. As he noted many years later, "there was
no alternative to going abroad to study." At the time, there
was no established graduate program in anthropology in Canada,
but he always intended to come back as soon as he could find
a teaching job.
He joined the Pennsylvania-Yale Expedition to Nubia that was
carrying out rescue anthropology before the area was flooded
by the Aswan High Dam project. That led to his dissertation,
which was published as History and Settlement in Lower Nubia
in 1965. He was able to show that environmental conditions, technological
innovations, trade and war were the four factors that accounted
for changes in the size and location of settlements. This complex
approach to understanding human behaviour became a trademark
of his scholarly work.
He had become increasingly nostalgic for Canada during the years
he spent living in what he later described as "imperial America,"
a society in which political debate was limited and "citizens
almost unanimously agreed that their way of life was the most
advanced and perfect in human history …" Determined to help reverse
the brain drain, he ignored the advice of American academic colleagues
who warned him that he would be in an academic backwater if he
returned home, and accepted an appointment at McGill in 1964.
That is where he stayed for the next four decades, despite many
offers of distinguished chairs at illustrious institutions abroad.
He preferred to build a department and a discipline in Canada
rather than to chase international scholarly accolades.
At the McGill Faculty Club in the fall of 1965, he was introduced
to Barbara
WELCH, an English geographer who was teaching at the
university. They were married in London in 1968 and subsequently
had two daughters, Isabel, a particle physicist, and Rosalyn,
a historical geographer. He was a very engaged father. Rosalyn
remembers intense family discussions at the dinner table with
people leaping up to get books to substantiate their arguments.
"I think he went to a lot of trouble to ensure that my childhood,
and that of my sister, was quite different from the one he had
himself," said Ms.
TRIGGER, who has "lots of happy memories"
of her father coming home at midday from McGill to scoop up his
daughters for impromptu lunches.
"He hired me in 1974," said Michael Bisson, chair of the department
of anthropology at McGill. He was "absolutely wonderful" to work
with, said Prof. Bisson, describing Prof.
TRIGGER as a very hard
working scholar, a huge contributor as a teacher and administrator,
and a conciliator in disputatious situations. "He was quite a
shy person, which is one of the reasons he didn't go to a lot
of academic conferences and make presentations. He wasn't into
self-promotion."
A dedicated teacher, Prof.
TRIGGER taught mainly advanced courses,
as befitted the leading theoretician and author of the definitive
texts in the field. He used those books, Archaeological Thought
and Early Civilizations, as the basis for two of his major courses.
He was very interested in the synergy between undergraduate teaching
and cutting-edge scholarship. Unlike many eminent scholars who
have little time or patience for undergraduates, Prof.
TRIGGER
was "very accessible," said Prof. Bisson.
Prof. TRIGGER fell ill about a year ago and was diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer in November of 2005. The prognosis was brutal,
but even while submitting to aggressive chemotherapy, Prof.
TRIGGER
continued his prodigious work load. It was almost as though he
feared time was short and set his mind to completing unfinished
tasks and embarking on new projects. He worked on the galleys
of a revised edition of A History of Archaeological Thought,
contributed to the festschrift in his honour, continued writing
a book of essays on what he considered to be the problems of
the political right, both globally and
in Canada, began planning
a new text on the history and archaeology of Egypt, and translated
some Middle Egyptian texts.
He was also showered with awards, including the Order of Canada,
which Governor-General Michaëlle Jean presented to him in his
hospital room in December of 2005. Although obviously frail,
he was well enough in June of this year to attend convocation,
where McGill president Heather Munroe-Blum appointed him James
McGill Professor Emeritus of the university.
His final decline was swift. "We were getting out archaeology
books from the McGill library within days of his death," said
his daughter Rosalyn. She and her fiancé had been planning their
wedding for December 2, which her father insisted should go ahead,
no matter what was happening with his health. Her sister Isabel
came from Vancouver with her family, including her infant daughter.
But it was not to be. The wedding went ahead without the father
of the bride.
Bruce Graham
TRIGGER was born in Preston, Ontario, on June 18,
1937. He died of cancer at the Montreal General Hospital on December 1,
2006. He was 69. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, daughters
Isabel and Rosalyn, and by his grandchildren David and Madeleine.

TAILOR/TAYLOR,
J.
Allyn▲
By William
BRADY,
Page
A24
Father, business leader, philanthropist. Born April 10, 1907,
in Winnipeg. Died June 17 of natural causes at his home in London,
Ontario, aged 99.
Modest, compassionate and always interested in others, Allyn
became the man to go to when there was a community need. He chaired
countless not-for-profit boards, served on many committees and
raised millions of dollars. All this while managing a rapidly
growing financial corporation.
Allyn TAILOR/TAYLOR was respected for his business acumen and his leadership
at Canada Trust, a career of 40 years culminating in his retirement
as chairman in 1979. When he arrived in London, the company had
only a few branches; when he stepped down, there were 200 doing
millions in business annually. He once said, "When I got up each
morning to go to work, I liked to say, 'God help the competition
today.' " Still, he seemed to always make time for those who
sought his advice, particularly young people.
He was modest and often self-deprecating: At a large community
party celebrating his 95th birthday, he said: "I appreciate all
these kudos but you seem to have confused longevity with ability."
His displeasure was evident on one occasion when someone addressed
him as "Al." He frowned and in an aside to me, "That guy always
calls me that, don't you ever do that!" A few days before, the
university had conferred an honorary doctorate on him and he
made it clear that while he was greatly honoured, he did not
want to be addressed by the degree's honorific. I sent him this
rhyme: "If you want to be his buddy, a very special pal / never
call him Doctor and never, ever Al."
Allyn TAILOR/TAYLOR frequently used long-forgotten expressions; phrases
he no doubt had heard as a child growing up in Winnipeg. If someone
displeased him or failed to follow through on a promise or commitment
he'd say, "Well, I am disappointed, he certainly blotted his
copybook." When at a board or committee meeting names were proposed
for certain roles and he thought the suggested person was the
right one to serve, we'd hear, "Oh my yes, she's a ten-strike."
Allyn TAILOR/TAYLOR became impatient with any who took more time than
he believed was necessary when they spoke. I was the target the
day I rose to make a point; clearly he thought I was running
overtime, "Well Mr. Brady has made a good point and while it
took quite some time for him to do so, I believe it was time
well spent."
Allyn and Betty
TAILOR/TAYLOR were married for 62 years, until her death
1999. Their family: Ann
FLEMING/FLEMMING of London, Lynn
GRAHAM of Ottawa,
John of Picton and seven grandchildren.
J. Allyn TAILOR/TAYLOR was the first chair of the McMichael Canadian
Art Collection and chair of the Ontario Press Council. He was
founder and chair of the London Community Foundation, which today
donates more than $1-million annually.
He was a passionate supporter and promoter of medical research
serving as chair of University Hospital and was founding chair
of the Robarts Research Institute in London. He often said that
his commitment to the areas of medicine and research was inspired
by the death of his father when Allyn was just 12, from what
is considered today as a minor defect of the heart valve.
Each year renowned scientists are honoured in his name when awarded
the J. Allyn Taylor International Prize in Medicine. He was a
founder of the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame and was appointed
an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1982.
J. Allyn TAILOR/TAYLOR served his country and community with great distinction
and has left an extraordinary legacy.
Bill BRADY is a friend and colleague of J. Allyn
TAILOR/TAYLOR.

Hilary KILBOURN, 53: Creative to the end
Adored daughter of rebel alderman Bill
KILBOURN
Sensitive painter 'could capture people' in her art
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
She was born into Toronto royalty, certainly its establishment,
a statement that would not have made her wince because it honours
her father.
And Hilary
KILBOURN worshipped her father.
When Bill KILBOURN died in 1995, "it was as if the history of
our lives was passing in front of us," Rosedale member of Parliament
Bill GRAHAM said at the time. It meant that and more to
KILBOURN's
second child, who was so grief-stricken she was hospitalized
for two days.
Passionate about Toronto, Bill
KILBOURN was a rebel alderman
on city council in the '70s, David Crombie's time, when Toronto
had an exciting future and its politicians the courage to fight
developers to preserve its past.
Founding chair of York University's humanities department, author
of 14 books, with Friends and admirers in the usually disparate
worlds of the arts, politics, academia and media, he was often
dishevelled as he rode his bike through Toronto winter traffic
without an overcoat. But at the same time, he helped stop the
Spadina Expressway and the planned Pickering Airport.
He lived with his wife, Elizabeth, an Anglican minister, and
five children in a rambling three-storey house in south Rosedale
with a dining room painted a shocking black for a while, modern
art on all the walls, wolf skins on the living room floor, singsongs
round the piano, political discussions around the table and hockey
on the rink in the backyard.
"It was magical," said Francesca Mallin
PARKER, whose family
lived in the next block and who became fast Friends with the
KILBOURN sisters, Hilary and Philippa. "We were a gang of three."
Though she was the youngest, Hilary was their leader because
she had the verve, the artistic passion and talent. There was
always a painting on an easel set up in the bedroom and playroom
on the third floor that she shared with her sister.
"Often her zeal for artistic expression was unable to be contained
and spilled over onto the walls and ceilings of her house," recalled
George HATHAWAY, who moved in across the street in 1976.
It was always understood within her family, and by her Friends,
that Hilary was -- and was going to be -- an artist. "Right from
the beginning she was always drawing -- princesses and witches.
Dad kept a lot of them," said Philippa or Pippa, her sister.
(There were also three sons: Nicholas, Timothy and Michael.)
Their father adored Hilary, taking her along to official functions
if his wife was unavailable. An intellectual descended from prominent
Toronto industrialists, he was thrilled to have an artist in
his family. "They were very much soulmates," said Pippa.
Tall, lively and lovely -- with dimples, fair hair and an entourage
Hilary was a sophisticated presence in the halls of Jarvis
C.I., her poetry and art winning awards and filling the school
magazine and yearbooks.
"I felt lucky that she accepted my Friendship. I was in awe of
her," said writer Ann
SILVERSIDES. "It was all rather exotic
to me, a kind of J.D. Salinger-ish household full of brilliant
individuals."
Activists, politicians, artists, people were often in their living
room -- even Pierre Trudeau swung by on his first campaign to
be prime minister.
Hilary thrived on the excitement on the home front as well as
from her own social whirl of poetry readings and formal dances.
There was every reason to believe a fine future lay ahead of
her studying art and drama at York University's brand new fine
arts program.
But Hilary's "incredibly fertile existence," as her sister described
it, began to crumble when she was 22 and spending time in Findhorn
Community, a religious retreat in Scotland. She came home and
was hospitalized after experiencing her first episode of mania,
now known as bipolar disorder.
It had been building for a while. Her friend Mallin
PARKER remembers
seeing "an episode of misery like I've never seen" when Hilary,
in university, sank to the floor, weeping. "She was crying and
hysterical and in such emotional pain that literally she couldn't
stand."
Her illness dogged her the rest of her life as she fought it
and fought to retain her creativity. She gained a lot of weight
as a result of her medications. She was in and out of many hospitals
and almost as many apartments until 1983, when her father got
her a house on the Toronto Islands.
There she found her place. Her home was one of the original island
houses, a blue cottage with purple trim and a bathtub out back
on Wyandot Ave. Typically, there were usually two or three other
people living there with her. She was subsisting on a government
disability pension, but she felt blessed to have her island home
and therefore obligated to share it.
In a community of characters, everybody knew her -- outgoing,
friendly, bumming a cigarette, riding her bike, pointing her
video camera anywhere she could record another moment of life
in her community. In turn, they kept an eye out for her, knowing
when she wasn't taking her medication, helping her during her
ensuing mania and at times psychotic episodes.
In 1994, she produced a half-hour film with original music about
life on the island, past and present. "She would come here, hands
shaking, and video-film The old still photographs I had," said
self-styled island archivist Albert
FULTON. "And I was amazed
at what a professional production it was."
Her father died January 4, 1995, three days before her film was
aired on a local cable channel.
She was always sketching, but she was extraordinarily modest
about her art, often giving it away because she valued it so
little. Her portraits were vivid, passionate. Pippa
KILBOURN
says Hilary's best work was a larger-than-life portrait of their
father looking like rebel leader William Lyon Mackenzie. "She
could capture people. She had such sensitivity she could penetrate
the personality," she said.
On Thursday, February 2, she died in her sleep. She was 53.
Her funeral wasn't held at the island's church, St. Andrew-by-the-Lake.
Instead her mother, Pippa and brothers, and several hundred of
her Friends gathered at St. James Cathedral. Hilary
KILBOURN
loved the island and that church, but it was too small and there
was no doubt that the cathedral was really the appropriate place
to say goodbye to her. For it was there that several hundred
people had also gathered, back in 1995, to mourn the passing
of her father.

KENNEDY,
Kathleen
Helen (née
KRAFFT)
Age 87, passed away peacefully at her home April 8, 2006, with
her three loving daughters by her side. Gracious and kind, lover
of music, Kay has joined her beloved husband, Doug, in Heaven.
Kay felt truly blessed by her large, close-knit family, which
included four children: Sue
ROGERS (Robert), Ottawa, John
KENNEDY
(Virginia BARNES,)
Australia,
Pat
BOND (Robert,) Mississauga,
and Janet GRAHAM
(Brian)
Grimsby.
Her 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren
were the joy and pride of her life. Born and raised in Cayuga,
Ontario, Kay (Kathy), at the tender age of 16, was the organist
at her beloved Church of Saint_John the Divine, and later went
on to the University of Guelph where she and Doug met and then
married soon after graduation. Typical of many young couples
in the forties, Kay and Doug lived through the hardships of war
and poverty as they began their young family. (Their first Thanksgiving
dinner was a pigeon that Doug shot on the family farm!) With
wisdom and devotion, Kay rose to the challenge of being a politician's
wife in the years from 1967 to 1985, when Doug served as Conservative
M.P.P. for Mississauga South. World travel was a significant
part of their 63 rich and fulfilling years together, and included
trips to countries such as Australia, Africa, and China. Many
dear Friends and extended family reaped the benefits of her warm
and generous hospitality demonstrated by her wonderful home-cooked
meals, lots of laughter, and enjoyment of card games and scrabble.
To the surprise of her family, in her last few years she took
up playing pool. Kathleen lived her faith with dignity and by
patient example, as she herself had been nurtured. A legacy for
us all. The family would like to especially thank the staff at
the Regency Retirement Home for their loving kindness. Kathleen
had a real place in her heart for Moorelands Camp, www.moorelands.org
